After Action Report

The Heat handled the Bobcats 116-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
